Window film for precious objects

Use window film to protect precious object and manuscripts from sunlight.

Whether you are the curator of a library or museum, or you have antiques, manuscripts or artwork in your home, you need to be aware of the adverse effect that sunlight can have on your precious objects. Many people spend hundreds and thousands of pounds on furniture and art works, but these can all be affected if left in direct sunlight.

Using SPECIALIST UV CONTROL window film to protect your possessions

There are ways you can protect your possessions against sun damage, but they’re not always practical and can mean that you don’t get to appreciate the beauty of the things you own. Specialist dealers suggest moving your artwork regularly to avoid one piece being damaged by sunlight, whilst others recommend that you cover the tops of furniture with specially-designed mats or coverings. Since it’s almost impossible to put furniture and art in a position where they don’t come into contact with sunlight, you probably want an alternative – all of our window films stop 99% of the UV up to 380nm and our Specialist UV Control window film stops 99.5% of the UV up to 380nm and 99% of the UV in the range 300nm to 400nm.

Window film for all circumstances

Whether you have precious objects in your home, you collect items for your workplace, or you run a museum or gallery that’s dedicated to the exhibition of works of art, you need to consider how to properly protect them. Sunlight contains damaging ultraviolet, or UV rays. These are the rays that damage our skin, and they can also cause damage to wood, paper, ceramics and other media. Once something has faded or cracked because of exposure to UV rays, it can be almost impossible to return them to their original condition. That’s why it makes sense to install window film. Solar window film helps to prevent UV rays from coming through the window glass, whilst letting the light through. This means that you can protect your possessions whilst also displaying them in their best light. For museums in older buildings, where large windows are a feature, and can cause real problems for curators, Specialist UV Control window film is the ideal solution for reducing harmful rays, but also solar control window film can be used to reduce solar heat gain – another source of potential problems when it comes to conserving books and papers especially.
